“Could use a little refurbishment”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

We stayed in Apartment 1, for 2 nights. The house was well equipped, was in a very nice location with beautiful view from the living room. The booking process was smooth, the owners were friendly and helpful. The only problem with the house was that it was not too clean. Especially the kitchen and the bathroom. I would still recommend it, but if it was re-painted or a little bit refurbished, I'd give 5 stars without question.

Thanks for keeping us informed about the cleanliness of Calluna at the time of your visit. We normally get good marks for cleanliness and will continue to monitor this important area of our service. As we were both away on holiday at the time, we cannot comment directly about what went wrong. Sometimes if other guests are staying the common areas such as kitchen and toilets can look as if they need a clean. We will also get the paintbrush out and smarten up areas which need it. Finally thanks for being so positive about the other aspects of your stay and offering your recommendation.

“Great Base for exploring and Activities”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

Just spent 3 nights at Calluna for a Girllie Trip for Scotland. We had a 2 bedroom flat which was perfect for what we needed. Fairly dated but comfortable and all you needed in the kitchen (we ate in 2 of the nights). Note - you do need to bring your own towels. Positioning it is fab - walking distance from Fort William and close to the start of Ben Nevis walk. We did a day kayaking which was fab - with Rockhoppers - would reccomend. A great Base!

“Good Bunkhouse for exploring the area and Ben Nevis”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

Calluna is a nice little bunk house and ideal for exploring Fort William area and Ben Nevis - We had a twin room which was basic but fine - bathroom facilities fine as were kitchen - lovely views from the front room but very uncomfortable chairs for TV watching .. Boo - We shared with a family in the larger room and a couple of girls from France in the third room - Nice chance for some chats or hellos in the communal kitchen - All facilities are basic but then its what you expect of a bunk house - Good option and very reasonable price! - They have all facilities for storing boots after walking and drying clothes after walking too - Try the Crannog Fish restaurant on the water in Fort William -- Lovely food and great views across the water -

Room Tip: Id go for twin option if possible and there are two of you so you get some privacy

“Great bunkhouse”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2011

I stayed at Calluna for a weekend winter climbing and walking trip. It was a bit of a last minute thing and I managed to get a bed in the Alpine Loft bunkhouse for two nights. I wasn't looking for the Ritz, just somewhere clean, reasonably priced and with half decent facilities. Calluna ticked all these boxes and more. My main concern was having somewhere secure to leave my kit during the day while I was out. This wasn't a problem as the room is lockable and you'll most likely be sharing with a few other friendly climber/walker types anyway (although do remember everyone will probably be getting up at the crack of dawn to get out on the hill, particularly in the winter!) There's a clean kitchen with everything you need and an excellent shower. The loft upstairs where you sleep is really dinky but nice and clean. There's a proper drying room and for climbers, well there's a bouldering wall downstairs if you need your fix. It is a wee hike up the hill from town but you won't mind it too much after a couple of pints in the Grog & Gruel.
